Our Prisoners of War Return

Arrival of war veterans at Wetzlar train station. The soldiers are greeted by a crowd at the station. As the train arrives from Cologne, the former prisoners of war, who came not only from the city of Wetzlar but from the entire district, probably came from France. A military band from the Reichswehr welcomes the arrivals, and women hand out flowers. A flag reads: "It is finished." A field kitchen near the station provides food for the returnees.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
